Wireframes v0.1 — Hearing Aid Scanner Flow + Donor Journey

Flow 1: Hearing Aid Scanner
The primary feature. Works like Google Lens — donor or admin photographs a hearing aid, AI identifies brand, model, year, battery type, wax filters, domes, and moulds. Audiologist reviews and confirms tech level once the device is in hand.

Technology level Estimating
AI confidence varies by attribute. Brand & model are usually high confidence from visual cues. Tech level often needs audiologist confirmation.
Real-time progress as AI analyses the photo. Confidence bars show which attributes can be reliably identified visually vs. which need professional review.

AI-identified specs with confidence. Editable fields (pencil icon) let users correct mistakes. Yellow card flags what needs audiologist hands-on review — aligning with the human-in-the-loop decision.
Flow 2: Audiologist Review & QA
After a device is scanned and added to the register, an audiologist physically inspects it, confirms tech level, programming interface, and marks it as QA-passed. This is the human-in-the-loop step.
